If you get paid by the hour, it's easy to boost your revenue: automate much of your job, so you work 5 times faster than a typical consultant for the same project. You bill the same number of hours, but with an hourly rate 50% lower than average. Yet you end up making 2.5 times more revenue than the average consultant because you work on 5 projects at the same time while she only works on one due to her internal inefficiencies.

If you can't automate, instead you could outsource 80% of the work to Romania. The end result is the same.

Why fewer respondents in 2013? is it because people stop calling themselves data miners, or because the data is right-censored because we are just at the beginning of 2013, and more respondents should participate in the coming months? Or maybe another reason, maybe the difference is not statistically significant?
